kinda talking to myself, but maybe someone's still listening...

Turns out that there were both encoding and binary data
issues. PostgreSQL >= 9.0 uses hex-encoded binary data which screwed
up all tests related to BYTEA data. I had to rewrite the entire BYTEA
decoding stuff in the pgsql driver to handle this new format. We're
now back at 0 errors, but I can test this against PostgreSQL 9.2
only. Would someone be kind enough to test the code on older versions
of this engine?

regards,
Markus
